As your clerk of works, we will monitor all excavation, making sure that strict bio security is maintained at all times. We will ensure that all legislation is adhered to (and there is a wealth of it). Finally we will make sure that all staff onsite are informed on identification and the issues surrounding Japanese Knotweed.
